Volunteer: Video Editor to Turn Event Footage into Social-Ready Content

About the Opportunity

FutureSouth Foundation is seeking a volunteer video editor to create compelling recap videos from raw photo and video footage of our recent AI Pitch Challenge. These videos will be used on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook to showcase student projects and amplify our mission of equipping rural communities with AI skills.

We provide raw files, brand colors (navy and blue), and key messaging points, but we encourage creative input on pacing, music, transitions, and storytelling structure. The final videos should be 30–90 seconds long and formatted for social media platforms.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys short-form storytelling and wants creative latitude on a real project. We produce video content regularly and hope for ongoing collaboration beyond this initial project.

Responsibilities

• Edit raw photo and video footage into engaging, platform-ready recap videos (30–90 seconds) for LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook.
• Incorporate creative elements such as pacing, music, transitions, and storytelling structure while adhering to provided brand guidelines and messaging.
• Collaborate with the FutureSouth team to align videos with platform specifications and incorporate feedback.
• Deliver final videos in the required aspect ratios and formats for social media distribution.

Requirements

• Experience with video editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent).
• Strong creative eye for short-form storytelling and social media content.
• Ability to work independently and incorporate feedback in a timely manner.
• Interest in or passion for AI education, workforce development, or rural community impact is a plus.
